Guardian: Glasner is dissatisfied with selling Guy, but Crystal Palace says contract only one year left and has to sell
According to the Guardian, Crystal Palace coach Glasner was dissatisfied with selling Guy, but Crystal Palace said that the contract only has one year left and has to be sold.
Crystal Palace has barely accepted Liverpool's £35 million offer for Guy. He will undergo a medical examination today and complete the transfer before the summer window deadline.
It is reported that Crystal Palace chairman Parrish has seriously considered head coach Glasner's request, that is, not to sell Gee in the summer window, because the team failed to sign a replacement in time.
But after the Community Shield beat Liverpool, Parrish admitted that Guy will likely have to be sold in the summer window to avoid losing the 25-year-old centre-back for free next summer, and eventually Crystal Palace approved his transfer hours ago.
Crystal Palace is about to announce the signing of 19-year-old Jedi Canvo from Toulouse for £21 million, and is also seeking to introduce a more experienced defender to replace Guy. Brighton's Igor may join on loan, but there have been reports that the deal has failed.
Although Glasner was very dissatisfied with Parish letting the captain go at such a critical moment, it is generally believed within the club that such a high transfer fee cannot be rejected with only one year left in the player's contract. Previously, Crystal Palace rejected Tottenham's offer of up to £70 million in January this year, and also rejected Newcastle's multiple purchases last summer.
Guy scored the second goal of Crystal Palace in Sunday's match against Aston Villa, and after the game Glasner said whether to accept Liverpool's offer would be decided by Paris: "If we want a successful season, we have to stay Guy. We had a meeting in March and agreed that Guy can only be sold after finding a suitable replacement. But now, the replacement has not arrived yet, so part of the agreement has not yet been fulfilled."
"I know if we decide not to sell Guy, he will accept this decision, because he loves Crystal Palace. Now it's all about the future of Crystal Palace, we are going through a wonderful time, perhaps one of the most successful periods in club history, and Guy is more than just a small piece of a puzzle."
